All better now

Sorry about my whiny post from a couple days ago. I was just in one of those funky moods. I'm feeling much better and more motivated now.

Last night was strength training. Mainly upper body, alot of pull ups. I can do 15 pushups in a row now, when I used to only be able to do 10. And I also upgraded to 15lb handweights, the 10's were just too easy. Tonight was a 3 mile run since I missed Tuesday. In fact, I think I want to do (1) 2 mile and (1) 3 mile on the weekdays from now on. I think I have enough time for that. Tonight was cold as balls but I got it done. The only bad part was my ankle rolled when I stepped off the curb, but I realized what was happening so I didn't land on it too hard. It was more like a soft roll. It hurt a little bit when it happened but the pain faded completely after a minute or two. It doesn't hurt at all now so I think it's good.

I found this too - about how to be happy when in physical pain (aka injury) I have moments of despair sometimes when I think I might be coming on with an injury. I've dealt with 2 - hip flexor pain and plantar fasciitis, plus a semi cranky knee. It's gonna happen from time to time. This article touches on alot of the things I have come to realize when dealing with an injury. You really do have to stay positive, realize it is only temporary and things will get better, and remember that there are those who have it MUCH worse than you!

As of today, the Augusta Half is exactly 1 month away. Can I officially start freaking out now???

That's all for now - Saturday's long run is 9 miles and I dunno what I will do Sunday. Prolly Yoga or Ironstrength. Toodles!
